    Q How long does The Gophinator gopher trap take to work? answer now
    Asked on December 19, 2025 7:07 AM
    A The Gophinator Gopher Trap can work immediately after proper placement. In active tunnels, many users catch a gopher within a few hours to 24 hours. Most successful captures occur within 1–3 days, depending on gopher activity, tunnel selection, and correct trap setup. The Gophinator is a mechanical kill trap, not a bait or poison. It relies on the gopher’s natural behavior of traveling through main tunnels. When the gopher encounters the trap, it triggers a fast, lethal strike, resulting in instant control. Because there is no feeding delay or toxic action, results are often faster than bait-based gopher control methods when placed correctly. For best results, set The Gophinator in fresh, straight main tunnels, ensure proper tension and alignment, and check traps daily. If no activity is seen after 48–72 hours, relocate the trap to another active run.

Need to get rid of gophers but don’t want to use poison? Well, the Gophinator Gopher Trap is your perfect solution! The Gophinator Gopher Trap features high temper stainless steel wire, so unlike other gopher traps, the Gophinator will not lose power or trigger sensitivity due to rust and will stay effective through many years of use. The Gophinator gopher trap eliminates the problem of trap shyness in a number of ways.  It employs a powerful torsional type of mechanism which draws the gopher into a pivot point at the front of the trap and applies more than enough power to hold and kill even the largest adults quickly and consistently.  Are you curious how to set the Gophinator gopher trap? Check out our video on how to trap gophers below the above product image or on Video Tutorials page!

Size:

  • Single Trap – 3″High x 5.5″Long (If you have smaller tunnels, and want a smaller trap, try the Trapline Mole Traps)
  • Pack of 6 Traps – SAVE $9.33 WHEN YOU BUY THE PACK OF 6 GOPHINATORS!
PRO TIP: FOR SUCCESSFUL GOPHER TRAPPING, WE RECOMMEND USING TWO GOPHER TRAPS AT A TIME.  THIS WILL COVER BOTH SIDES OF THE TUNNEL.

    These traps are the best. They are immediate death. Other traps I’ve tried didn’t always kill the Gopher and then I would have to “take care” of them😒 I pretty much get a gopher every time I set one. You need these traps.
